A PEOPLE BOOK OF THE WEEK WINNER OF THE JQ-WINGATE LITERARY PRIZE "A haunting tribute to survivors and those lost forever--and a r…eminder, in our own troubled era, never to forget." --People An "exceptional" (The Wall Street Journal) and "poignant" (The New York Times) book in the tradition of rediscovered works like Suite Française and The Nazi Officer's Wife, the powerful memoir of a fearless Jewish bookseller on a harrowing fight for survival across Nazi-occupied Europe. In 1921, Françoise Frenkel--a Jewish woman from Poland--fulfills a dream. She opens La Maison du Livre, Berlin's first French bookshop, attracting artists and diplomats, celebrities and poets. The shop becomes a haven for intellectual exchange as Nazi ideology begins to poison the culturally rich city. In 1935, the scene continues to darken. First come the new bureaucratic hurdles, followed by frequent police visits and book confiscations. Françoise's dream finally shatters on Kristallnacht in November 1938, as hundreds of Jewish shops and businesses are destroyed. La Maison du Livre is miraculously spared, but fear of persecution eventually forces Françoise on a desperate, lonely flight to Paris. When the city is bombed, she seeks refuge across southern France, witnessing countless horrors: children torn from their parents, mothers throwing themselves under buses. Secreted away from one safe house to the next, Françoise survives at the heroic hands of strangers risking their lives to protect her. Published quietly in 1945, then rediscovered nearly sixty years later in an attic, A Bookshop in Berlin is a remarkable story of survival and resilience, of human cruelty and human spirit. In the tradition of Suite Française and The Nazi Officer's Wife, this book is the tale of a fearless woman whose lust for life and literature refuses to leave her, even in her darkest hours.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, subsequent impression with number line '3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4'. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, slight lean, not price clipped (no published price), no inscriptions, internally clean and tight, overall a vg+ cop…y. 305pp. In 1921, Francoise Frenkel (1889-1975), a Jewish woman from Poland, opens her first bookshop in Berlin. It is a dream come true. The dream lasts nearly two decades. Then suddenly, it ends. It ends after police confiscations and the Night of Broken Glass, as Jewish shops and businesses are smashed to pieces. It ends when no one protests. So Francoise flees to France, just weeks before war breaks out. In Paris, on the wireless and in the newspapers, horror has made itself at home. When the city is bombed, Francoise seeks refuge in Avignon, then Nice. She fears she may never see her family again. Nice is awash with refugees and terrible suffering; children are torn from their parents, mothers throw themselves under buses. Horrified by what she sees, Francoise goes into hiding. She survives only because strangers risk their lives to protect her. Set against the romantic landscapes of Southern France 'No Place to Lay One's Head' is a heartbreaking tale of human cruelty and unending kindness, of a woman whose lust for life refuses to leave her, even in her darkest hours. Quite a scarce book. Jacket by Matthew Young (illustrator).

Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Paris, ¨Perrin 2018. 1 Volume/1. -- Comme Neuf -- Broché collé. Format in-8°( 24 x 15,5 cm )( 1505 gr ). -------- 1357 pages. Quelques tableaux. ************************* 4ème de Couverture : "" La " police " qui est au centre de ce travail est à comprendre au sens le…plus large, soit les polices proprement dites françaises, allemandes, officielles et officieuses, en uniforme ou en civil, de zone libre ou occupée , mais aussi les organes d'une chaîne répressive que l'occupation allemande, les nazis et le caractère autoritaire de Vichy ont multipliée et à laquelle participent des catégories innombrables : douaniers, gardiens de camp et de prison, agents de la police économique. Enfin, comment oublier toutes ces " officines ", ces " milices ", ces " services ", généralement officieux, travaillant au service des Allemands, des partis ou groupuscules collaborationnistes et responsables de tant de drames dans la Résistance ? Histoire, organisation, missions, effectifs, armements, répartition géographique, mais aussi concurrences, tout est ici remarquablement décrit et analysé. Néanmoins ce livre a l'ambition d'être aussi un outil de réflexion, de synthèse, n'évitant pas les questionnements gênants le plus souvent soigneusement contournés, les contradictions, les hypothèses iconoclastes ou politiquement incorrectes parce qu'elles dépassent le manichéisme attaché à cette période, au sujet d'acteurs qui ne sont réductibles à aucune opposition simpliste. Jean-Marc Berlière offre ainsi une somme exceptionnelle, appelée à faire date, sur toutes les forces de police durant la Collaboration."" ************************ ref 300A.
